The popular, well like player being paralyzed for life was far and away the worst day in the history of the franchise. Shame on my for not putting that first.

SoFlaJets Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 This is the karma wheel spinning around. Now you younger guys won't know this but there was a 2000 yard RB on the Broncos in the 1990's his name was Terrell Davis and in the 4th game of the 1999 season Davis got hit in the legs by a Jets defender and it essentially ended his career as a running back. Guess who was back in that stadium yesterday? Anyone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papz187 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Opening day vinnie blows achilliesThis. If you were alive and a Jets fan in 99 it will top your list (or at least should).We were SB favorites, the Broncos beat us in the AFCCG the previous year (barely) but now Elway was retired and we were ready to make it happen....until Vinny's season ending injury in the first half of the first game vs New England (ofcourse).That was straight devastating.

Greg555 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Ranked just below the injury to VT, yesterday’s season ending injuries to 2 star players after a promising 4-2, now 5-2 start, ..ranks 2nd all-time, imo. I know there were seasons impacted by injuries to Namath..but I don’t remember the context…back in my early to mid teen years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjasi Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 3 hours ago, WILLY said: Especially in 1998 - up10-0 at halftime in the AFC championship game. Some of us remember "the fumble" in the 3rd quarter as the Jets were driving to go up by at least 2 touchdowns on John Elway. WAY WORSE. The jets were up 3-0 at halftime. It was 10-0 after the blocked punt early in the 3rd quarter. and the jets never fumbled with a chance to go up by 2 TDs - the fumbles by Martin and Byars were in the 1st half with the game scoreless. After Denver cut the lead to 10-7 in the 3rd, we botched the short kickoff and they recovered. we then fumbled again later in the game (In the 4th quarter) when we were driving down 20-10 (Alex van dyke). vinny then threw 2 picks in what was essentially garbage time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you include just injuries? Moments? Etc? That ******* game went down in the NFL zeitgeist instantly and became a forever meme that we have just barely started to recover from a decade later. For christ sake it has it's own ******* wikipedia page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butt_Fumble For a casual NFL fan this was a big moment and ESPN loved it. Not even close for a Jet fan. Playoff heart break / injuries like Vinny hurts more than the butt fumble down 30 in a blowout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Jets winning the announcer-less game against the Dolphins cost us the #2 OA pick that the Giants used to draft LT. That probably cost us at least 2 Super Bowls. Really? It cost us two SB's...and you how do you know that? Because he won multiple SB's with the Patsies...that's rich. How about putting on your thinking cap if you have one and realize that a player being paralyzed on the field is worse. That really happened! Not some fantasy dream you have.
